Rookie Punk Band Made Fans LIVID When They Took A THROWAWAY Disco Song to #1! | Professor of Rock

Coming up…. When punk rock band Blondie recorded a disco song they alienated their punk followers who accused them of selling out. Deborah Harry and Chris Stein loved disco but their fans didn’t. On the flip side, the disco faithful treated them like outsiders who were merely pandering for commercial success. But here’s the thing… It’s one of the coolest songs of its time… In the middle of this identity crisis, that same disco song Heart of Glass, surprisingly, became a huge international hit, and catapulted the band to superstardom… and the iconic title of the song came from the band trying to figure out how to replace a lyric that was a swear word for fear of getting censored on radio. You won’t believe this story next.

You had Jimmy Destri on – electronic keyboards Frank Infante – on lead guitar, Chris Stein – on rhythm guitar, 12-string, and E-bow there was also Nigel Harrison – on the bass the wonderful Clem Burke – on drums, and of course the legendary Deborah Harry –on lead vocals. The band was labeled a “punk band,” but their attitude was more rebellious than the nature of their music. To be defiant, and “uncool” they would perform a disco song in their set, sometimes a song they had recorded on a demo titled “The Disco Song.” When they played “The Disco Song” at their club gigs, like the legendary CBGB, drummer Clem Burke recalled there were hand-cupped “boos” from the crowd. The original version of “the disco song” was conceived between ’74 & ’75, then re-recorded in ’78 for their multi-platinum album Parallel Lines. The title was changed from “I Once Had a Love” to “Heart of Glass.” Guitarist Chris Stein & singer Deborah Harry were partners - romantically & professionally. As the driving force behind BLONDIE, the couple conspired on virtually all of the band’s music - Debbie writing the lyrics, and Chris inventing the music. Debbie sat down to come up with a song about a lost love and the emotional fragility that is the fallout. Debbie drew from personal emotional experience to craft the song that was eventually recorded as “Heart of Glass.” She wanted to capture a feeling of having a love that was once powerful, and beautiful, but soon discovering that the relationship was not as lasting as it seemed. The song expresses a sense of disillusionment and the fear of being hurt by the inevitability of fallen love. She began the song by borrowing a remark she overheard from the mouth of a New York City cab driver that stuck with her. “I once had a love…and it was a gas,” The euphoria of Debbie’s narrative quickly shifted to frustration in her next line “soon turned out…to be a pain in the ass.”
